We use only natural gold quartz, sourced directly from known gold mines, or found as rare specimens metal detecting.   The natural stones are cut & polished to expose the incredible one-of-a-kind gold formations.  

Gold associated with quartz veining is a result of hydrothermal activity.   This means that the gold is carried in a solution associated with volcanic activity.  As the solution and the surrounding host rock begin to cool, gold precipitates into the host rock forming veining in the quartz.
